taking the chair to make some appro.
pirate remarks, stating his determine
ton to uphold the entire ticket. AL
though he had been beaten in the pri.
maries, he was in the fight until the
close of the election. jos. H. Key,
chairman of the Central Committee,
made quite a lengthy speech, in which
he reviewed the qualities Of each Of
the nominees Of the democratic party.
The young men on the legislative
ticket he eulogized as men Of educa-
ton and sound principles. who would
be useful, if elected, while those on the
republican ticket could be of no use
in democratic house. The candi-
date Tor Sheriff, Mr. Mattingly, he de-

eight long years, and the time for a
change had come. lie urged his
hearers to vote for Mr.. Camalier, the
democratic nominee. who was an in
dustrious and competent member Of
the bar, that could always be found
at his office attending TO his business,
and his success in the practice OF his
profession was the result of his popu.
lar manners and his acknowledged
qualifications. The candidates for
County Commissioners on the demo-
cratic ticket, and those for judges OF
the Orphans Court, he declared to be
men Of Judgment and high honesty of
purpose, such as the people needed to
reduce the burdens Of taxation and
protect the widow and the orphan.
The young gentlemen for the legisla-
ture, Messrs. 7. L. Mattingly and Leo
J. Lathroum, were next called upon
the stand, and made neat, logical and
handsome addresses. which elected
the applause of the audience. fully

men become suddenly poor men. 10
avert in all these conditions the greater liza
bility, the greatest amount OF care and
anxious thought is demanded. for in
all, chances are taken which increase the
risk. Especially is this the case in matters
Depreciation A favorable (Oopportunity
is presented. To take it means to risk all
there is. The risk is taken and perhaps
a fortune is made. But that fortune
made is often some ones fortune lost, yet
that is not thought of; it is the quickness
of the operation perhaps which conceals
this phase of the matter. The most COM
mon means by which rapid fortunes are
gained is stock manipulation, and the
most conspicuous illustrations OF this
method are furnished by the operations OF
Grant and Ward, and Henry s. Ives &
co.
1t is frequently claimed that in addition
to the risk incurred there are character
istics about all such operations which call
in question the strict honesty OF the men
as well as of the methods employed. The
courses pursued By the two firms named
are rather questionable. and so much so
that the ever ready public fails in sympathy
tor either. for the ruin brought upon them
selves. Speculation of this day does not
end its effect simply with parties directly
concerned. The business interests of the
whole country are imperilled. One great
failure is followed by others. 1t is i'm
possible not to affect others when such
gigantic schemes are planned. The mis-
fortunes and fortunes as we'll, are dearly
bought.
Wealth acquired by the methods OF
modern speculation is also precarious
wealth. The length of its possession is
conditioned by other people. The only way
in which to insure its permanency is
to cut loose from the source of its
acquisition as soon as it is
gained. Few however resist the
mp.aion to continue. Those who do
and invest in other secure properties are
the fortunate ones. Herein lies the secret
of the success in speculation of all the
wealthy men of the country. They make
their money and buy the control of prop
erty. thus freeing themselves in measure
from the influence of others. Had Ives
stopped when his margins were made and
followed this course he would have in all
probability been a rich man.
Viewed in its most favorable light,
however, modern speculation is not very
certain in its results, and its conditions are
not very allurng to the cautious and
provident. Speculative gain is limited
like all other things OF the age and
as long as it is possible to coin money by
legitimate enterprise it should not be re-
sorted to.

Modern Speculation.

This is an age when everything goes
with rush Travellers are hurled from
place to place by the fast flying railway
trains in less time than preparations to
start in former times would occupy; or
are borne over the waters in steamers that
rival the speed of the first locomotives.
The post is circumvented by the use OF
electricity so that messages can now be
sent around the world quicker than they
once were sent from Boston to New York.
Even conversation Is carried on by wire.
doing away with the necessity of inter-
views. The rapidity of machinery has
surpassed the plodding and burdensome
methods OF hand manufacture. Machinery
makes everything that once was made by
hand. and with less cost. So general has
the rule become that men get rich in even
days. while it required lifetime if not
several, for our forefathers to acquire for
tunes which. compared to those of to-day,
appear dimnutive and insignificant.
But all this rush is attended with con.
ditions which render results more doubtful
than the slow deliberate and laborious GUS
toms OF former years. Fast expresses hurl
their passengers too frequently into
eternity. Swift sailing steamers collide or
strike the rocks before they can be stopped.

One Danger of Ice Water.
However PURE THE WATER MAY BE, THE
Ice is LIKELY TO CONTAIN DISEASED GERMS.


.sIf people must drink ice water" said a
chemist to N. Y. Mail reporter, 81 would
advise them to bottle the water and Law the
bottles on the ice, rather than to place ice in
the water, for there is no doubt that almost
all the river and lake ice used in New York
contains large proportion of bacteria. OF
course, most Of the species encountered are
harmless, but IN Hudson river water and ice
there are the bacteria of typhoid fever and
the bacteria of suppuration or py &c mia.
This cannot be otherwise when you consider
the number of hospitals in and near New
York the drainage of which ends in the
river. II you must mix the ice ami water
then get lake ice, for it is the purer of the
two. Ice cut from rivers in the vicinity OF
large cities always contains numerous bac-
teria, and to my mind the au horities should
exercise a supervision over the gathering OF
such products.
'.Ice really should be made by an artificial
process, and then only distilled water should
be used. Freezing and low temperature do
not kill all species of bacteria. Suppuration
and typhoid bacilla can be killed only by
boiling the water. Therefore, by taking the
water that comes from distillstion and freez
ing it you can get ice that might well be
taken as a standard for purity"

A few weeks ago the terrible rate of
mortality at the Founding Hospital in
Montreal attracted public attention and
investigations followed. A condition of
affairs was discovered sufficient to call
upon the government for a further and
more particular examination. Ii is stated
that the Hospital has become the home tor
many llegitimate children, and that no
proper care has been taken of them.
Several prominent men have been
arrested as implicated in one way or
another with the affairs of the institution.
The charges are serious, since they are
founded upon circumstances which have
the appearance of being most criminal
II is considered very significant that 1873
out of 200 children farmed out through the
institution to the same person have died.
This Is only a sample instance of the whole
sale destruction of children. II may be
that even worse examples will be fur
nished by the Investigators. Society is in
great excitement and social scandals are
reported daily. If these reports are one
half truth it is high time that the dark
deeds of Montreal were made public and
punishment melted to all those guilty in
any degree in this worst OF disgraces
which has for years been attached to any

Across Niagara on a Bicycle.
A FRENcHMAN IN SILK HAT AND DRESS SUIT
MAKES DARING JOURNEY.

Ten thousand people went to Niagara Falls
Sunday afternoon to witness two events of
unusual interest which had been promised
Alphonse King, the water walking French
man, who tripped over in his golden slippers
in the boiling waters few months ago, had
said he would ride water bicycle across the
river, and Professor j. Z De Leon had an
uounced that he would walk Steve Peers
seven eighths inch steel cable, 900 feet long,
suspended 200 feet ov er the deadly whirlp Dol
rapids.
At 4.33 King mounted his water bicycle,
which turned out to be quite wonderful
machine. All the elements of the land wheel
were present, only that the big wheel had
water paddles attached to its tire end was kept
on the surface by two long torpedo shaped
fiosts of sheet iron King wore q dress
suit and silk hat, his only protection from the
waves being rubber leggings. The Siamese
Princes were present and witnessed the start.
Superintendent WEIGH would not allow the
start to be made from the reservation dock,
so the bicycle was towed to a point on the
American bank directly under the new sus
pension bridge. King pulled out until he
struck the down current and then took q
diagonal course. The bicycle rolled consid
erably when the up current was reached, and
il looked as if he must upset. The floats
westhered the trescherous currents and ed
dies beautifully. and in four and half min
utes the tired Frenchmsn landed on the Can

the bridge and both banks of the river. He
was taken into the bost and it was found that

Ferdinand !, is King OF Bulgaria, having
the support of all the great powers with
the exception Of Russia. She stands out
and witnesses his coronation with an evil
eve. What her course in regard to the
elevation OF Ferdinand may be, is doubt
ful. To oppose him is apparently to OPP
pose all Europe. Should International COM
plications arise in the future. she may
avail herself of the opportunity to show
her disapproval in a very hostile manner.
Turkey was the last to yield and array
herself upon the side of the powers and it
is very probable that her relations with
Russia will be still more uncertain.
